| Laying on of hands is an act that accompanies many rituals in many different religions. Used even in christian rites to invoke the holy spirit. Used as a way to confer spiritual blessings. From here I'm sure it started making its way into fantasy and at some point made its way into dungeons and dragons which, I believe, predates WoW by just a bit. Wingnut, who doesn't play WoW, bringing you a history lesson on behalf of the "U". |
